No Change to Irish Women’s Side

Steve Hennessy, Ireland Women’s Coach, has named an unchanged side for Saturday’s game against Italy in Collefero. The team opened their 6 nations campaign with a 7-5 win over their French counterparts last weekend in Ashbourne.

There’s plenty to shout about this weekend with eight players representing four Munster clubs involved in the match 22. Led by Shannon’s Joy Neville the girls will no doubt hope to build on last week’s historic win against the French when they take on Italy in Colleferro this Saturday.

Ireland Women play Italy, Saturday, February 14th, kick-off 14.30hrs.
Match venue: Stadio M. Natali", Via degli Atleti, Colleferro, Italy.
